| Defect Summary : Vehicle description: heavy duty trucks equipped with arvinmeritor mfs-8 series front axle assemblies. the wheel bearing nut adjustment assembly may 1) restrict a complete lubrication fill at assembly and/or 2) shear the spindle perforated washer's locking tab (located in the inside diameter of the washer) when tightened. if the washer tab is sheared, tightening of the outer spindle nut may cause the bearings to be excessively preloaded rather than the intended .001" - .005" end play. either of these conditions may cause premature wheel bearing failure. | Consequence Summary: A premature wheel bearing failure could result in separation of the wheel assembly from the vehicle and result in loss of vehicle control. |
| Corrective Summary : Dealers will remove and replace the front axle spindle nuts and washers with a redesigned system. | Recall Notes: Owner notification began september 1, 2000. owners who take their vehicles to an authorized dealer on an agreed upon service date and do not receive the free remedy within a reasonable time should contact freightliner at 1-800-547-0712.also contact the national highway traffic safety administration's auto safety hotline at 1-888-dash-2-dot (1-888-327-4236). |
